Trump says he does not want Kurdish forces to get into Iran war

Saudi Arabia has warned Iran that continued attacks on the kingdom and ​its energy sector could push Riyadh to respond in kind, Reuters reported on Saturday citing four sources familiar with the matter.

The message was conveyed before Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's televised speech in which he apologized to Arab neighbors for the Iranian attacks, saying he had instructed the country's armed forces to stop hitting regional countres.

However, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain as well as the Iraqi Kurdistan were attacked shortly after Pezeshkian's speech.

A video sent to Iran International shows oil depots burning in three corners of Tehran, with flames visible in the west, east and south of the capital as the person filming turns the camera.

A huge fire also erupted at Aghdasiyeh oil depot in northern Tehran, videos show.

“Trump got a taste of what happened in Venezuela and liked it, thinking he could quickly do the same in Iran. Now he’s stuck," Larijani said.

"We will not leave him alone. He must pay the price for what he did. He killed our leader and martyred more than 1,000 of our people. This is not a simple matter.”

"We won't leave him alone until reciprocating what he did," he reiterated in a post on his X account.

Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani warned on Saturday that Tehran would continue attacking neighboring countries if they allow their territory to be used for attacks against Iran, hours after President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to Arab neighbors.

Speaking in a televised interview, Larijani said "countries in the region must either stop the United States from using their territory against Iran themselves, or we will do it."

“Two regional countries have said they will prevent attacks by the United States from their soil, although we find it unlikely,” Larijani said. “We will wait and see. If they prevent it, we will have no issue with them.”

He also said Iran has no issue with Baku but cautioned that any hostile action originating from its territory would draw a response.

“We have no issue with Azerbaijan, but if a conspiracy or flights against Iran are carried out from that country, we will respond,” he warned.

More than 150 Iranian nationals, including diplomats and their families, have left Lebanon and are being flown to Russia on a Russian plane, Reuters reported citing a senior Lebanese security source.

Another 20 Iranians had left on Friday following the start of a new conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, the report added.

The departure comes after the Israeli military threatened Iran’s representatives in Lebanon and conducted strikes near the embassy.
